Let All That Are To Mirth Inclined Lyrics


Let all that are to mirth inclined
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved SonFor to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the savior of us allThe twenty-fifth day of December
We have good cause to remember
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah bornBut mark, how all things came to pass
The inn and lodgings filled was
That they could find no room at all
But in a straw filled ox's stallNear Bethlehem some shepherds keep
Their flocks and herds of feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fearWith thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went this babe to find
And as the heavenly angel told
They did our savior Christ beholdThree eastern wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star

Came boldly on and made no stay
Until they came where Jesus layAnd being come unto that place
Where the blessed Messiah was
They humbly laid before his feet
Their gifts of gold and incense sweetSee how the Lord of heaven and earth
Shewed Himself lowly in His birth
A sweet example for mankind
To learn to bear an humble mindLet all your songs and praises be
Unto His heavenly majesty
And evermore amongst our mirth
Remember Christ our Savior's birth

Canadian singer and composer Loreena McKennitt is self-managed, self-produced and head of her own record label - Quinlan Road. In a recording career spanning three decades, McKennitt's “eclectic Celtic” music has won critical acclaim worldwide and gold, platinum and multi-platinum sales awards in fifteen countries across four continents. Her most successful record is 1997's "The Book of Secrets", which spun off the single "The Mummers' Dance", a surprise hit on American Top 40 and alternative rock radio.

McKennitt blends world-music with folk, Celtic and exotic Mediterranean sounds using instruments such as the hurdy gurdy, kanoun, uilleann pipes, Turkish clarinet, bouzouki and nyckelharpa alongside traditional instruments like guitar, drums and bass and the harp, piano and accordion, the three instruments she plays.

Born in Morden, Manitoba, Canada in February 17, 1957, Loreena moved to Stratford, Ontario, Canada in 1981, where she still resides. She has acted and sung in, and composed music for, Stratford Festival of Canada productions ranging from The Tempest (1982) to The Merchant Of Venice (2001).

Her recording career began in 1985 with the album Elemental. In the fledgling years of her label Quinlan Road, Loreena ran its operations from her kitchen table, selling recordings by mail order and producing her own concert tours across the country. Quinlan Road's catalogue is currently distributed around the world by Warner Music (US), Universal Music (Canada and other territories including Italy and Spain) and a number of independents including Keltia Music (France) and SPV (Germany).
